Once this occurs, in no sequential order, it<\/p>\n<p>means I have activated Buddha Babble.<\/p>\n<p>She warns me to minimize the babble and deliver clear and concise verbiage. This is a constant<\/p>\n<p>struggle for me. I enjoy verbosity. Philosophy and critical thinking excite me. Human behavior<\/p>\n<p>and the meaning of life entice me. My mind, like my writing, is always in flux. It is constantly<\/p>\n<p>shifting which creates esoteric thoughts that often come across as didactic and hard to identify<\/p>\n<p>with.<\/p>\n<p>When &#8211; and if! &#8211; my perplexing rambles materialize, she reminds me to eliminate the free-<\/p>\n<p>wheeling, free-style sort of writing that can be challenging to follow. \u201cThere is a power in<\/p>\n<p>presenting direct development,\u201d she frequently repeats. Quite simply: less Buddha Babble.<\/p>\n<p>My expert editor has a flair for bringing flow to my phraseology. Her heroic modifications<\/p>\n<p>create a meaning metamorphosis and allow skillfulness to shine. Simple tips and sensible<\/p>\n<p>excisions make my Buddha Babble comprehensible. She has a knack for underlining areas<\/p>\n<p>where a reader may struggle, which forces me to reframe the structure of my sentence and<\/p>\n<p>deliver a straightforward sense of understanding.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful to have my invisible hero slashing sentences and properly placing commas.<\/p>\n<p>Without her expertise stylistic snags, redundancies, and run-on sentences could be victorious.<\/p>\n<p>She gently prompts me to be transparent and use more direct ways of expression.<\/p>\n<p>An incurable lust for learning guides me on the journey of exploring my mind. It is important to<\/p>\n<p>show true mettle in my writing and continually evolve. I am fortunate to have my invisible<\/p>\n<p>hero, a compassionate teacher who brings enlightenment and order to my endless Buddha<\/p>\n<p>Babble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let me introduce my expert editor.
